The equation 44 - x + 2x = 50 can be used to determine the number of cats/kittens adopted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of cats/kittens at the event = 44

Number of cats/kittens at the end of event = 50

Let,

x be the number of cats/kittens adopted

Therefore;

Number of cats/kittens returned = 2x

Number of cats/kittens at the event - adopted + returned = Number at the end of event

44 - x + 2x = 50

The equation 44 - x + 2x = 50 can be used to determine the number of cats/kittens adopted.

X4 – 17x2 + 16 = 0 Rewrite the equation in terms of u
slavikrds [6]
You probably are interested in expressing the given equation as a quadratic equation in u, as it will make it easy to find the solutions.

Let u = x²
So,
u² = x⁴

So, the given equation can be written as:

u² - 17u + 16 = 0

Now the equation is quadratic in u and the solutions can be calculated using quadratic formula or factorization.

In a large population, 71 % of the people have been vaccinated. If 4 people are randomly selected, what is the probability that
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The answer is "0.9929"

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{The distribution in binomials is n = 4 and p = 0.71.}\\\\\text{Vaccinated Pr(AT LEAST ONE) = 1-pr( no people vaccinated ).}

= 1 - Bin (n=4, k =0, p=0.71) \\\\= 1 - C(4,0) \times 0.71^0 \times (1-0.71)^{4-0} \\\\= 1 - (1 \times 0.29^4)

= 1 - (1 \times 0.00707281)\\\\=0.9929

The volume of a compound shape . 10 cm &amp; 12 cm .
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

total volume = (1150/3)pi cm^3

approximate total volume = 1204 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound solid looks like it's made up of a cylinder with a base with 10 cm diameter and height of 12 cm and a half sphere with radius 10 cm.

volume of cylinder: (pi)(r^2)h

volume of sphere: (4/3)(pi)r^3

total volume = (pi)(r^2)h + (1/2)(4/3)(pi)r^3

We are given a diameter of 10 cm, so the radius is 5 cm since r = d/2.

total volume = (pi)[(5 cm)^2](12 cm) + (2/3)(pi)(5 cm)^3

total volume = 300pi cm^3 + (250/3)pi cm^3

exact total volume = (1150/3)pi cm^3

approximate total volume = 1204 cm^3
